In the wake of the recent Pahalgam terror attack, former diplomat Ajay Bisaria cautioned against allowing public sentiment to dictate military actions towards Pakistan. Speaking on an ANI podcast, Bisaria, who served as India's high commissioner to Pakistan from 2017 to 2020, emphasized that successful military operations require "speed, surprise, and secrecy," and must be timed strategically rather than in response to public emotions. He underscored the importance of being prepared for an escalation of conflict, stating that India must be ready to handle a worst-case scenario, which could involve a full-scale war. Bisaria called for the capacity, intent, and political will to engage effectively in such a situation, highlighting the necessity of maintaining control over military decisions. 
Published: May 05 2025, 7 ameznews.inA week after suspending the Indus Waters Treaty (IWT) with Pakistan in response to the Pahalgam terror attack, India is ramping up reservoir storage at two hydroelectric projects in Kashmir, according to NDTV. The National Hydroelectric Power Corporation has begun "reservoir flushing" at the Salal and Baglihar projects, which had not been cleaned since their construction due to IWT restrictions. This process aims to enhance power generation efficiency and prevent turbine damage. Additionally, India plans to expedite the construction of six stalled projects, potentially increasing Jammu and Kashmir's electricity output to 10,000 MW and improving irrigation and domestic water availability. The IWT, crucial for Pakistan's agriculture, mandates that India provide six months' notice before such developments, a requirement now circumvented. Pakistan has threatened legal action, asserting that any water diversion will be regarded as "an act of war," amid rising tensions following the attack.

Published: May 05 2025, 2 pmeznews.inThe Supreme Court of India addressed a contempt petition against BJP MP Nishikant Dubey, who faced backlash for derogatory comments regarding the judiciary. Dubey criticized the court's recent ruling, which mandated a three-month deadline for the President and Governors to decide on pending bills, accusing it of fostering "anarchy" and inciting "religious wars."

Published: May 05 2025, 1 pmeznews.inThe Supreme Court of India dismissed a plea on Monday from Sultana Begum, a descendant of the last Mughal emperor Bahadur Shah Zafar II, seeking the return of the Red Fort, a historic 17th-century monument in Delhi. Chief Justice Sanjiv Khanna questioned the rationale behind the claim, suggesting that if the Red Fort were to be returned, other Mughal sites like the Taj Mahal should also be considered. The Red Fort was seized by the British following the 1857 uprising, leading to Zafar's exile and the confiscation of his properties. Sultana Begum, who has previously approached the Delhi High Court with similar claims, argued that the government’s pension for her, which she inherited after her husband's death, was inadequate. Her claims have been consistently rejected, including a recent appeal deemed too late, despite her assertions of illiteracy and ill health contributing to the delays.
Published: May 05 2025, 1 pmeznews.inLast week's blackout in Spain and Portugal serves as a reminder that grid stability is a persistent challenge, a reality already experienced in India during the 2012 grid collapse that left 400 million without power. As India expands its renewable energy capacity, primarily solar and wind, to reduce reliance on imported fossil fuels, it must also prioritize grid stability. The government faces an investment challenge estimated between $107 billion and $500 billion to enhance grid management amid growing energy demands. Issues such as unclear data on solar installations and corporate governance in the renewable sector further complicate this task. Despite India's low per capita energy consumption compared to China, the country is set to lead global renewable energy expansion in the coming decades. To avoid blackouts, regulators and the government must ensure robust infrastructure and better data management, as highlighted by Europe's recent energy crisis.
